There are tons of rules, many I don't even know and I am a pitcher. I have been called on these:
The play is over only when the pitcher has the ball on the mound in the circle.
You cannot start a pitch then stop.
You cannot throw the ball into your glove when on the mound, some umpires believe this looks like you are trying to pitch.
You cannot alter the ball in any way- this includes rubbing it in the dirt.
You cannot start your pitch in front of the rubber.
When a batter is hit with the pitch, he/she automatically gets to go to first.

In 18 U Gold softball and collegiate softball, the distance from the plate to the pitching mound is 43 feet. This is because the pitchers at these levels throw much faster than the pitchers in the lower levels. In high school at 14U - 18U the pitching distance is 40 feet. Notice there is a difference between 18U and 18U Gold level.
